Boeing 737-800 have been grounded after China Eastern Flight 5735 crash.
More than 200 of China Eastern’s Boeing 737-800 planes have been grounded for two weeks now because there was no obvious reason why the jet entered a sudden nosedive, killing all 132 people on board.
Any evidence that clears or implicates Boeing could be critical for the U.S. manufacturer in China, where it’s working to resume deliveries of the 737 MAX jet after a three-year halt.
China Eastern Flight 5735 from Kunming to Guangzhou was cruising at about 29,000 feet when it suddenly dived at high speeds. It slammed into a forested hillside about 100 miles from its destination.
Results from the black box analysis could come in one to two weeks.
